Vintrowear Does NYC!

The hardworking staff at Vintrowear has not been idle. We’ve been out there working tirelessly on your behalf, slaving away as keen observers of the New York City music and cultural scene, making sure that no trend goes undocumented. Photographic evidence follows:

Fuerza Bruta at the Daryl Roth Theater on 6/19/11:

Swords on display, at the Long River School of Tai Chi on 6/14/11:

Mark Rozzo of Bambi Kino, sporting his Vintrowear button before the Big Apple BBQ on 6/11/11:

Bambi Kino on stage at the Big Apple BBQ:

Lianne Smith with the Golden Palominos at The Living Room on 6/7/11 (please note Kevn Kinney’s western shirt):

I found some additional great photos of that show on the blog “Now I’ve Heard Everything.” I really like Lianne’s music. I met her for the first time a few years ago through Matthew Caws, and I think she has a great voice and a really cool style. She can totally rock out, but she’s not too loud, which I like, because I’m old. I also got to see her sing at Loser’s Lounge earlier this month. I can’t remember what song it was – there was this random google doc set list floating around the internet the other day, but I can’t seem to find it now.

We were so very fortunate to get to see Paul Simon at Webster Hall on 6/6/11:

Dan took this photo because I couldn’t see a darn thing. I think from that photo I can tell that someone on stage is wearing a western shirt!

I believe it’s Mark Stewart, based on some reading I did at the CT Concert Blog, who really got some great shots of the shirt. It’s got a goldish-reddish floral yoke, with what looks like whip-stitching:

And I just realized the curly-haired guy in the background has on a black and white embroidered western as well. Nice. Not sure who he is. Close-up reveals the shirt also has orange flowers! Double nice!

After scrutinizing photos of various musicians on the internet, I’m still not sure who it is, but I’m leaning towards Jim Oblon. Anyone know?

Continuing on our reverse Time’s Arrow trajectory, here’s Mr. Vintrowear with Ko Melina of the Dirtbombs outside of the Bell House on 6/4/11. She was so cool and friendly! After watching her rock out on the bass so intensely for 2 hours, I thought for sure she’d be formidable, but she was super-nice. I should have given her a Vintrowear button! I had a perfect opportunity, but I got shy and star-struck, and it was all I could do to snap off the picture. She’s so bad-ass that I developed a little crush.

Here’s Rick Ocasek at The Cars show at Roseland Ballroom on 5/25/11:

And Emmylou Harris on 4/26/11 at Bowery Ballroom:

Showing stamina that is unusual for me, earlier on 4/26 we also got to see the filming of The Daily Show!

We attended with a couple of Dan’s friends, one of whom, J, has the distinction of being as big a Nada Surf fan as Dan is. J’s girlfriend B has her own successful jewelry store on Etsy called Porter Gulch Jewelry Designs, and is an example to me that it’s entirely possible to moonlight as a successful small businesswoman.
